Hi guys!  Today I’m sharing a quick before and after turquoise beauty.  I found this magazine rack at Goodwill for $3.99 and although I didn’t have a place for it, I thought the price was right so why not?  I shared some spray painting tips last year but this distressing technique on this piece wasn’t sanded [...]
